Thinking about the surrounds of history that abounds the day of now and paying importance to the active word “rising”. A wise owl is known to rise at night; is this because the owl knows that attunement to thinking freely is essential without the restrictions of mankind’s daily world? Is the day today indicative of a paradigm that supports sustainability of true mankind? The rising from rest with the awareness that this in itself is a momental occasion because it has been? Sometimes I think mankind take for granted the present unconsciously – without understanding and acknowledging the true essence of awakening as rising & being grateful for awakening to another day of an “anything is possible” attitude. Was this past his story a conceivable path to enlightenment for us today? There will be a significant portion of humanity that will have a conscious recollection of what this day means – but …. what about all the other days? Is the message much greater than we have the time to think? If we blessed ourselves with the conscious acceptance that we rise, we breathe – from rest we become the reality that the past has greater plans for us “now”? Continue Reading
An Educational Interview
Posted On Tuesday, March 30th, 2010 By textonscreen
Image via Wikipedia I have decided that in the future I will go to the interview of my child with my own questions. It has always intrigued me to observe the way in which the teacher of my child/children observe & measure the consumption of experience the student is having – this is obviously supported by an evidence base using different models of development. I have very well-rounded children who engage in life and who explore with a learned understanding of what risks are; of where and how to negotiate them. So it’s always very interesting to observe a character who is a teacher set the scene for how it is presumed my child is performing to the “standards” of some governing tool of measurement. I find it very interesting to observe that methods of keeping children – should I say “students” engaged with goal setting/reaching which are so often reinforced by hope that teachers portray. With goal setting one must identify that these goals are not reached by a means of what may be a limited promised – as in the content; but by the nature of the mechanism to drive one to stay on task to reach an Continue Reading
How did you learn to Remember?
Posted On Thursday, December 3rd, 2009 By textonscreen
Image via Wikipedia If one learned to remember – then when should we do it? There is one thing about parenting I just realized. My youngest daughter said to me “Mum how I am supposed to remember things that I forget”. I had to think about that because I put myself into the mind of asking that exact question and I came up with – often I don’t remember something; it’s not that I forget, but then who reminds us to remember? How do we remember as adults? We have things in place to remind us, but how often do we rely on part of our brain to recall things that are important and recall those things timely? We have to remember everyday to look at the calendar or the diary; but for children? I pondered that thought and thought – wow; I have not forgotten things – I just haven’t remembered them. There are the easy things like – wake up, get up, get dressed, make your bed, put your pj’s away, choose breakfast – eat breakfast, pick up your lunch, clean your teeth, wash your face, pack the bag – what goes in the bag; homework, library books, Continue Reading
A Rude Culture Shock? the all butt naked truth?
Posted On Thursday, October 29th, 2009 By textonscreen
As I was emailing an expression of interest & out of interest I happened to see a @612brisbane tweet flash by my page asking questions to listeners about “what age do we leave our children alone at home” – my response was automatically coupled by the page I turned in local paper moments before – so I scanned it and these are the thoughts that I have as type. Does it matter what age we leave our children alone? look what is happening by bringing information into the home! do we care enough about how information is expressed? in which format? in which area? this scares me this image; I am only too happy that these children are not mine on this page! my daughter was horrified when I asked her opinion of the news upon the page. If these children were mine? what would I do? The minding of the frame is just terribly wrong here – it sends incongruent messages and we wonder why children grow up messed up?
Careful Work in a Narrow Field
Posted On Saturday, October 3rd, 2009 By textonscreen
Image via Wikipedia I am not a contemporary thinker –why do you think that? – it is a blessing to have those in life that do challenge ways of being; not criticizing or analyzing just wonderizing. I woke to this knowing of what the answer is for me. Using critical thought is a behavioral understanding that is only applied when the method of an “outcome” is desired. Therefore to me everything else is “as it is – as it becomes” and is; uniquely random. To develop an understanding of the work that must be done on earth is to be empowered with the purpose that is required to do it. To create social change is to understand the environments we move, integrate and create within. I guess synthesized information can only come about once aligned with a purpose to identify, retrieve and collaborate it. The discipline in balanced life is not to think critically but to know how to act in the situation or environment that calls within the framework. This is the way I relate theory into practice and say “I’m not a contemporary thinker” – I am only a temporary thinker; within the freedom of my mind. On Continue Reading
Carpark Randomness
Posted On Tuesday, September 29th, 2009 By textonscreen
Another random post from my manicured moments partly partaken within my day. An experience I wanted to write about now has it’s space to interface and connect my remembered dots and hope someone reads and understands how transparency in the community is so “oh fake”. An interesting event occurred today for someone that could have had the potential for a few people to get angry and emit alot of red-carbon; anger. The scene is a parking lot whereby at Chermside Library there is also a swimming pool which shares a very close proximity – it’s called Splash Leisure. About to leave the center I was chatting outside the gate when a car pulled up and parked immediately in a parking area which is not supposed to be parked in. The writing is barely there – however! The person came and asked me can I park here? Gee by the looks of the sign I wouldn’t think so. The person then said to me – well what about that vehicle next to mine; he is parked on some lettering on the concrete. Apparently that is his responsibility based on his interpreted information – what else could I say?. I offered this Continue Reading
